Global car market gazing through the lens of a top Chinese brand
While Chinese automobile brands are increasingly going global to seek new growth opportunities, the risks in the overseas market are also increasing by the day. This is due to pressure from trade protection policies in the United States and Europe, notes SAIC Motor Corporation in its latest annual report. At the same time, as international competition is transferred to the domestic market, Chinese automakers will participate 'more deeply' in competition in the global market. It is expected that in the next 3-5 years, the proportion of the country's domestic vehicles in global sales will increase from the current 30 per cent to around 45 per cent. SAIC Motor is no stranger to India where MG Motor is its business and retail brand with operations in Halol, Gujarat. The company had recently divested part of its stake to the JSW group and the road ahead will see greater focus on electrification. The competitive landscape of China's automotive industry is undergoing a disruptive Motor Corporation Annual Report SAIC set up shop here by buying out General Motors' (a longterm ally back home in China) facility in 2017 and then rapidly beginning production. Its debut SUV offering, Hector, caught the imagination of Indian customers and it has now thrown up another potentially huge success story with the more recently launched Windsor EV. Going global In 2024, China's domestic market share of self-owned (homegrown) brands stabilised above 60 per cent and their average selling price increased by more than 30 per cent compared to five years ago. Self-owned brand automakers like Geely, SAIC, BYD etc have also been accelerating their 'going global' efforts and the growing trend of 'domestication of international competition' is now becoming increasingly evident. SAIC says the new round of a technological revolution is driving profound changes in the global automotive industry. With the deep integration of electrification and intelligence, the product definition and user experience of automobiles are undergoing 'revolutionary changes'. Self-owned brands have also risen profoundly in the domestic market. Not only have their market shares surpassed those of joint venture brands, but with the cross-border entry of ICT (Information and Communications Technology) enterprises, the Internet strategy and traffic marketing have brought new challenges to the traditional marketing model of the automotive industry. 'The competitive landscape of China's automotive industry is undergoing a disruptive reconstruction,' SAIC has noted in its annual report. The industry characteristics of "internal competition and external pressure" persist and as the automotive industry enters the "elimination competition" stage, the domestic market has experienced intense "internal competition" with price wars becoming increasingly fierce. Demand for improvement According to SAIC's annual report, one of the main factors driving China's automotive consumption is the demand for improvement. Based on the experience of leading countries, as the number of cars per capita increases and "non-first-time buyers" become the dominant factor in new car purchases, consumers have a stronger desire for larger car sizes and better comfort. Considering the competitive characteristics of the Chinese market, continues SAIC, while products are trending towards larger sizes and higher-end features, the average price continues to decline. More cost effective large-sized vehicles could become the preferred choice for consumers when they make replacement purchases. Two, plug-in hybrid products (including extended-range models) will gain greater popularity. Thanks to zero range anxiety and their strong adaptability to the environment, the growth rate of plug-in hybrid products (including extended-range models) has been significantly higher than that of pure electric products in recent years. In SAIC's view, the average annual growth rate of plug-in hybrid products (including extended-range models) will exceed 30 per cent in the next three years, thereby becoming the main growth driver in the new energy vehicle market. Taking the launch of the new large-sized extended-range SUV as an opportunity, [IM Motors] will expand its scale… aiming to achieve a 50% increase in annual Motor Corporation Annual Report Proliferation of technologies Three, the demand for intelligence has increased and with the rapid iteration of technologies such as AI, consumers' attention and demand for intelligent cabin and driving technologies have also grown significantly. Meanwhile, tech equity (where everyone is able to access and benefit from technology) has promoted coverage of intelligent automotive technologies to mid and low-priced products. Finally, says SAIC, the diversification of consumer groups and scenarios has led to more segments of the market especially among female and silver-haired users, as well as the emergence of new scenarios such as self-drive travel. 'It is an important new opportunity for the Blue Ocean (new or untapped) market, as well as a new challenge for product definition and marketing transformation,' adds the company. SAIC believes that the automotive industry in China will still maintain a stable and positive development trend in 2025 with sales of domestic automobiles expected to be approximately 32.9 million vehicles (including exports). Of this tally, new energy vehicles will be approximately 16 million, a year-on-year growth of 24.4 per cent, and exports of automobiles estimated to be 6.2 million units. Lessons from consumer electronics From SAIC's viewpoint, by learning from the experience of leading consumer electronics companies in areas of research and development, operation, and marketing, it aims to enhance product competitiveness, user experience, and channel coverage. The goal is to achieve annual vehicle sales of over one million units with a year-on-year growth of more than 40 per cent. IM Motors (the joint venture of SAIC, Zhangjiang Hi-Tech and Alibaba group) will also 'continue to lead' with innovative technologies. 'Taking the launch of the new large-sized extended-range SUV as an opportunity, it will expand its scale and enhance its publicity efforts, aiming to achieve a 50 per cent increase in annual sales,' says SAIC. To improve innovation efficiency, the company will focus on moving the definition of products from "engineer's thinking" to "user's thinking", opening up product and marketing links and achieving interlocking. Based on the 5S user experience elements of styling, smart, safety, sustainability and satisfaction, a cost-competitive core value system for products will be prepared. SAIC has said that it will achieve mass production and implementation of independent core technologies. More innovative achievements will be launched aiming to create unique selling points for vehicle products and further enhance differentiated competitive advantages in intelligent connected new energy vehicles. Against the backdrop of intensified intra-industry competition in the domestic auto market and increased external pressure from international trade protection, the competitive landscape of China's auto industry was undergoing profound Motor Corporation Annual Report Leveraging the scale effect Beyond this, the organisational operation process will be continuously optimised through measures such as cutting management levels, streamlining the organisational structure, deepening the empowerment of AI digital tools etc. The scale effect will also be leveraged to optimise the procurement strategy and improve cost-competitiveness. Quoting data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, where total sales were a little over 31 million units in 2024, SAIC's annual report states that the recovery pace of the domestic market was relatively lagging behind with sales 2.41 million vehicles lower than the peak in 2017. 'Against the backdrop of intensified intra-industry competition in the domestic auto market and increased external pressure from international trade protection, the competitive landscape of China's auto industry was undergoing profound changes,' it adds. In 2024, the number of vehicles traded in for new ones across the country exceeded 6.8 million, an increase of 2.4 million. The penetration of new energy vehicles accelerated to reach over 40 per cent, an increase of nearly 10 per cent over the previous year, with the growth rate of plug-in hybrid vehicles exceeding 80 per cent, becoming a new driving force behind the growth of new energy vehicles. The sales growth of new energy vehicles in smaller cities was significantly faster too.

Facing DC fast charging issue on your MG Windsor EV? A fix is on its way
The Windsor Pro was recently launched by JSW MG Motor India. There are three new colour schemes on offer now. Check Offers MG Windsor EV has been topping the sales charts for electric vehicle for several months now. It has helped JSW MG Motor India gain significant market share in the EV sector. However, there are have been several instances where customers have faced issues with DC fast charging. This is a huge issue considering the fact that a customer can be left stranded somewhere. Now, the company has issued an update for the customers. It is related to the Battery Management System and the high-voltage battery. Customers would need to visit their nearest authorised service centre to get this update installed which could take between 30 minutes to 1 hour. In theory, this update should fix the DC fast charging issues that the Windsor EV is facing. However, we will have to wait for some time to confirm whether this fix has worked or not. MG Windsor EV The Windsor EV has a rather unusual face that may not instantly impress an onlooker. But the rounded contours here are tastefully glazed with LED elements and a tad of chrome at the very bottom. Even after the price hike, the Windsor EV continues to offer a tremendous amount of value for money. However, people have experienced severe range drop in scorching summers. Apart from this, there have been instances, where the plastic piece where the seat adjustment buttons are placed broke. There is a lack of clarity with the 360-degree parking camera and the infotainment system itself can be a bit slow at sometimes. However, the guidelines on offer are very precise. When the Pro variant of the Windsor EV was launched, the existing customers wanted to know whether they would get the upgraded battery pack or not. To this, the company replied that the new, larger battery pack cannot be fitted to the current Windsor because the mounting points are different. However, an option like this would have been nice at an additional cost. Also Read : MG Windsor Pro: Owner of Windsor EV reviews the upgraded model The Windsor EV is powered by a front wheel drive motor that puts out 134 bhp of max power and 200 Nm of peak torque, which is delivered immediately. The performance is immediate, and there are driving modes on offer as well along with regen modes. And there is a proper difference between all the driving and regen modes. Because the Windsor EV is based on an electric platform, it is spacious. There is ample amount of room for everybody and it can seat five persons at once quite easily. However, the rear suspension is on the stiffer side so which you will need to slow down on speed breakers and bumps, or it will send a jolt. However, the ride quality does improve when there is a load in the boot or there are passengers in the rear seat. This firmness is what provides Windsor EV a lot of stability and confidence out on the highways. Check out Upcoming EV Cars in India. First Published Date: 28 Jun 2025, 13:50 PM IST

The latest price revision will take effect from July 1, 2025, and will apply to select models. However, the company has not yet specified which models will be affected by the hike.

Recently, JSW MG Motor India also announced a significant price revision across the entire ZS EV lineup, coinciding with the brand's sixth anniversary in the country.
